This years Feile na nDeise already looks set to be one of the best, with a truly stellar cast of musicians set to star in Dungarvan over the May Bank Holiday Weekend.
The Feile is on of those events that are looked forward toe ach year with enthusiasm. But this year, there has been a serious buzz about the event ever since John McGrath and Sean Murphy of Downey’s and Bachelors in Trouble fame got the national media coup of announcing headline acts, the ‘High Kings’ and Sharon Shannon on Today FM’s popular Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show.
It’s fair to say that both acts will attract huge audiences from across the South East and further afield into Dungarvan for the 16th Feile, and it was perhaps this kind of headline act that was the sole ingredient missing from the more recent editions of the otherwise very professionally run and organised festival.
The festival will be a huge boon to the town and West Waterford in general in the economic and touristic stakes, and I for one, am greatly looking forward to this years fare.
